  • Players Biel International Chess Festival
    2009 Players Biel International Chess Festival Players Boris Gelfand Israel, 41 yo Elo: 2755 World ranking: 9 Date and place of birth: 24.6.1968, in Minsk (Belarus) Lives in: Rishon-le-Zion (Israel) Israel ranking: 1 Best world ranking: 3 (January 1991) In Biel GMT: winner in 1993 (Interzonal) and 2005. Other results: 3rd (1995, 1997, 2001), 4th (2000) Two Decades at the Top of Chess This is not a comeback, since Boris Gelfand never left the chess elite in the last twenty years. However, at the age of 41, the Israeli player has reached a new peak and is experiencing a a third wind. He is back in the world Top-10, officially as number 9 (in fact, a virtual number 5, if one takes into account his latest results that have not yet been recorded). He had not been ranked so high since 2006. Age does not seem to matter for this player who is unanimously appreciated in the field, both for his technical prowess and his personality. In Biel, he will not only be the senior player of the Grandmaster tournament, but also the top ranked and the Festival’s most loyal participant. Since his first appearance in 1993, he has come seven times to Biel; it is precisely at this Festival that he earned one of his greatest victories: in 1993, he finished first in the Interzonal Tournament (which, by then, was the only qualifying competition for the world championship), out of 73 participating grandmasters (including Anand and Kramnik). His victory in Biel against Anand is mentioned in his book, My Most Memorable Games.

  • Spieler Alexander Morozevich
    2006 Spieler Biel International Chess Festival Spieler Alexander Morozevich Russland Elo: 2731 Geburtsdatum und ‐Ort: 18.7.1977 in Moskau Lebt in: Moskau Nationale Rangliste: 3 Weltrangliste: 9 Beste Platzierung: 4 (2000, 2001, 2004) In Biel GMT: Gewinner 2003 und 2004 Alexander Morozevich ist einer jener Spieler, welche die Geschichte des Bieler Schachfestivals am meisten geprägt haben. Bei beiden Teilnahmen brillierte er und holte sich jeweils unangefochten den Turniersieg, 2003 mit 8 aus 10 und 2004 mit 7.5 Punkten. Anlässlich seiner beiden Besuche erspielte er 11 Siege und 9 Remis, womit er ungeschlagen ist. Biel ist für Alexander Morozevich ein exellentes Pflaster. Der 29jährige Moskowiter Grossmeister treibt seine Gegner oft zur Verzweiflung, indem er wie kein anderer auf dem Schachbrett ein taktisches Feuerwerk zu entzünden vermag. Unter seinesgleichen gilt er als einer der kreativsten und unberechenbarsten Spieler überhaupt. Er wird deshalb bei seinem dritten Gastspiel im Kongresshaus den Hattrick anstreben, was im Grossmeisterturnier bisher nur Anatoly Karpov in den Jahren 1990, 92 und 96 erreicht hat. Als aktuelle Nummer 9 der Weltrangliste (Rang 4 war bisher seine beste Klassierung) wird er der H öchstdotierte in Biel sein. In den letzten Monaten hat Alexander Morozevich hervorragende Leistungen erzielt. Im Herbst 2005 erreichte er an den Weltmeisterschaften in San Luis, Argentinien, den 4. Rang (den Titel holte Veselin Topalov). Im Anschluss war er massgeblich an der Goldmedaille Russlands bei der Mannschaftsweltmeisterschaft in Beer‐Sheva, Israël, beteiligt. Mit Schwarz erkämpfte er sich und seinem Team den entscheidenden Punkt gegen China. Schliesslich gewann er im Frühling 2006 zum 3. Mal in seiner Karriere zusammen mit Anand das prestigeträchtige Amberturnier in Monaco (eine Kombination von Rapid‐ und Blindpartien).
